The Dynamics of Corporate Worship
Vernon M. Whaley
Worship wars rage. Wounded worshipers are left scattered along the highway of biblical worship. Issues over worship preferences, traditions, music styles, cultural identity, and more are invitations to controversy. How can church leaders today guide their congregations into effective worship with so many differences of opinion? The purpose of this book—the sixth in the Ministry Dynamics for a New Century series—is to redirect the debate to the core issue: a biblical understanding of what corporate worship really is. In three sections, the author examines elements necessary to genuine worship, the biblical definition and examples of worship, and practical strategies for planning corporate worship. The book also includes a timeline of the history of corporate worship and a list of resources for planning and preparing worship.

First Freedom: The Baptist Perspective on Religious Liberty
Thomas White, Jason G. Duesing, and Malcolm B. Yarnell
First Freedom is an important gathering of messages from a recent conference on religious liberty held at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Editor Jason B. Duesing explains:
"The purpose of this collection is, first, to provide an introductory look into the biblical and historical foundations of religious liberty combined with several instances of contemporary expression and defense for the purpose of instruction, edification, and encouragement to all who take the time to read this volume. Second, however, we wish to remind Baptists in the twenty-first century of the price that was paid by their forefathers for the establishment and defense of religious liberty. To be sure, there were people of various religious and denominational preferences that providence used to implement the religious freedoms now enjoyed by all, but for Baptists to overlook the contribution of their own would be a travesty."
